Left over from the big-bang, tiny holes might still wander through the universe. If one with a mass of 1 E 11 kg and a radius of only 1 E -16m reached Earth, at what distance from your head would its gravitational pull on you match that of Earth's.
mass of the given hole, mh = 1 * 1011 Kg
radius of the hole, rh = 1 * 10-16 m
Let my mass be m and the distance of the hole from my head be d when its gravitational pull is equal to that of earth
Gravitational force experienced by me due to earth, Fe
where g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s2
Gravitational force experienced by me due to the hole Fh
For the gravitational pull of the hole on me to match the gravitational pull of the earth on me, the above two forces should be equal, i.e.
d2 = 0.6810 m2
d = 0.82 m
